To write 12% as a fraction in simplest form, you need to convert the percentage to a fraction with a denominator of 100.

Step 1: Write 12% as a fraction using the rule that "percent" means "per hundred." Therefore, 12% can be written as 12/100.

Step 2: Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor. In this case, the greatest common divisor of 12 and 100 is 4.

Dividing the numerator (12) by 4, we get 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
Dividing the denominator (100) by 4, we get 100 ÷ 4 = 25.

Therefore, 12/100 can be simplified to 3/25.

So, the answer is C) 3/25.
